Thoughtful Thursday & Progress

I recently learned a formula for progress from one of my mentors, Jody Moore. 

It doesn’t even require any math.

This formula can be a game changer if you will apply it.

Are you ready?

Progress = Accountability + Grace

It is simple.

This equation is perfect for life’s classroom.

Both accountability and grace are required for you to progress.

Without accountability, you may tend to blame others for the things you wish were different in your life.

This leaves you stuck.

When you are accountable for the life experience you are creating,

The opportunity for awareness and growth opens up to you.

However, accountability alone can lead to shame

Which also leaves you stuck.

You become aware of who you want to be and the life you want to create.

But, you beat up on yourself because you don’t measure up to the expectations you have set for yourself.

Believing that if you are hard on yourself, you will do better.

This NEVER works.

This is why this formula is amazing. 

Accountability brings awareness.

Grace brings love.

True change requires both awareness and love.

When you apply this formula, you invite progress into your life.

You recognize where you can do better.

While at the same time, giving yourself the space to learn from your mistakes.

Give it a try.
